My New UMobile SIM by CURE Mobile Network

Post Page Rank

I got this new UMobile sim yesterday delivered right at my doorstep. I signed up for this almost a week ago and I'm just so happy I got mine that fast. Other blogger and Plurk friends have told me they haven't gotten theirs yet. I am excited about the many features that this new network is offering.

UMobile is the first ad‐funded mobile service in Asia

I currently have a postpaid mobile account with Globe Telecom and I've been relatively happy with the connection (read: not exactly the service). In the telco wars, all vying for subscriber loyalty yet offering not-so-good service, UMobile is a welcome alternative. How it will fare in the telco industry is yet to be seen though. Although as early as now, I am seeing a promising future for this new player.

What's the hype about this umobile sim, you ask? Why, I don't know much, but these are the ones I know...

• UMobile is the first ad‐funded mobile service in Asia. This means that subscriber load, web surfing, call and text is sponsored. Subscribers also get to earn rewards, freebies and discounts. In turn, sponsors/brands communicate with you, at least, those that you specify according to your lifestyle. This sponsor/subscriber matching is done when you fill-out an online application. Sponsors get exposure and loyalty from customers, you get free load. Win-win.

• Current offer is 100 pesos FREE load per month for the first six (6) months. Plus other perks like rewards and freebies. This is also like your regular pre-paid sim -- it's reloadable.

• You can change your phone number anytime and change will take effect within 3 hours. The first phone number change is FREE and the succeeding ones are charged 50 pesos. Not bad.

• Umobile to UMobile texts are as low as 15 cents/message! So cool! :)

• This sim is currently offered by invitation. But you can also attend UMobile-sponsored parties or visit the UMobile website to score some invites from the "codegiver"..

I haven't tested it yet, though. I will write a review once I get to finish my "mobile network stress test" and will tell you how it scores. But just the same, it's a steal -- it gets delivered right at your doorstep without spending a cent and then it comes pre-loaded with 100 pesos worth of load! I think the new age of mobile revolution is here...ad-funded sims! I look forward to more innovation from CURE Mobile Network, the owner of UMobile.
